It was voted ‘Best Large Car’ by users, more than 58,000 of whom took part to rate hundreds of models from more than 40 brands. Ratings are based on economy, comfort, reliability and driving excitement.
ŠKODA as a brand also performed exceptionally well. It was voted ‘Best Overall Manufacturer’ and ‘Most Recommended’, as well as being ‘Best Diesel’ marque.
Meanwhile, the all-new Octavia has also earned a ‘Commended’ honour in the Next Green Car Awards 2013. In the ‘Large Family’ category the 1.6-litre TDI diesel earned praise from the judges.

Available as a Hatch or Estate, the third generation ŠKODA Octavia has CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km and fuel economy as high as 74.3mpg. It’s packed with ‘Simply Clever’ driving solutions and seen as outstanding value for money.
